That colour looks nice in the light and black at night. Pretty cool. I hadn't really considered it myself

 

i like the color. However, as others have said... it's probably as tough to keep clean as black. But, what else would you do on Saturday mornings

 

I loved my LS 430 with Blue Onyx Pearl until my boys decided to shovel the snow off of my car using our snow shovel. Those scratches really show!

Who likes it? Who doesn't!!!! You REALLY need chrome wheels with BOP though. My ES is BOP with chromes... I get more compliments in that car than any car I have ever owned.

In the ES it is called Black Sapphire Pearl though...

 

I've got a Blue Onyx pearl, I really like the color, it's very deep and rich.

The downside, as others have mentioned, is that it shows swirls and scratches as though it's solid black. I can understand why people go for silver and mica, as these colors don't show scratches or dirt.

Here's a picture I took a month ago of mine, right after a wash and wax (Zaino). Those are my winter rims, BTW.

 

Love Zaino, looks great more pics please!

 

I'm giving my car 1 month after paint before the first Zaino treatments.

 

I have this LS430 in the exact same color. When I saw it, I said that looks like my car, minus the car seat inside. LOL I love mine.

 

A guy I knew (same person that introduced my crush on the 430) back in high school had the blue. It was an awesome color, I liked it a lot. The blue/tan combo is also very clean, suits the big luxo car well. As with any dark color (flint mica included) it requires more washes as dust shows up in less than a week (my car is usually parked for 1-2 days at a time so only dust from just sitting there). Photos really don't do the car any justice. My jaw dropped the first time I saw mine sitting on the lot.

 

I will definately agree as a owner of a BOP, the BOP attracts dirt just like a black car and I find myself cleaning the car twice a week.

 

i clean mine every day!

 

True dedication of having a clean ride!

 

I personally like the cypress pearl & Briarwood Pearl. BOP is cool looking but i don't like interior choice of color it has.

 

We have an '06 BOP, too. Wanted the dark red one but after taking a YEAR to find even this one, we took it.

 

Cypress, briarwood, and black cherry were three of the rarest colors on the 04-06 LS430. From my research of LS430s listed on Autotrader nationwide, blue onyx was moderately popular, more prevalent than gold but less than white. The most popular colors were black (by a large margin) followed by silver and flint mica (about tied), and then the whites.
